We rarely wear shoes unless it's really cold and the no sandals or loafers rule he laid down is going to require me to really change as I got out of the habit of serious shoes when living in Hawaii. I sometimes have to remind hubby not to take his shoes off if the host doesn't because he does it without thinking as all houses in Hawaii are no shoes. A lot have cubbies or baskets next to the doors for peoples shoes.

I am one of those who needs constant arch support. But Trudy... try sandals made by Naot or Mephisto. Most have good arch support plus a cork footbed that over a bit of time conforms to the contour of your foot. They are pricey, but they work for inside the house and shopping, etc. (Not for pickleball or taking a walk, of course!)
I'm sure there are other brands as well, but these two are my favorites.
